It is completely O.K. to disagree with someones life choices, it is even acceptable to dislike them. Blocking someone (when applicable such as on facebook or in SG Chat, or anywhere else) should be a sign you do not want to interact with someone. That being said, when you do so, STICK WITH IT. Don't go and start talking shit about that person, there is no fucking point. It is even worse when earlier in the year you pretend to be friendly with said person and try to give them advice about their life and talk about your dislike for their choice in partner, and then talk shit about them WITH said person who is now their ex. Some people have high tolerances for insults. they don't mind you making fun of their looks, or their voice, or the decisions they make for themselves. This does NOT mean you SHOULD do these things. But to go as far as to insult their very core, to say someone is a bad or unfit parent with NO bases on their parenting skills is UNACCEPTABLE. This holds especially true when you know NOTHING about their parenting save for what you can experience via what they have said or done on the internet, and what their ex (a person who has proven to be mentally unstable, a lair, and vindictive) has to say. It is NOT acceptable to Judge someone, especially their parenting skills regardless of your own.
If you don't like someone, ignore them, don't talk to them, but above all don't insult them. If you want to be a good role model, a good parent, do you think it makes sense to be rude and insulting to someone, or does it make more sense to be the bigger person and live your own life and let judgement fall to those who have the right to do so. They may not be perfect, but neither are you.

If I were to remain silent, I'd be guilty of complicity.

If you are neutral in situations of injustice, you have chosen the side of the oppressor. If an elephant has its foot on the tail of a mouse, and you say that you are neutral, the mouse will not appreciate your neutrality.
